Description
Statement; creates a branching structure for ActionScript statements. Like the
action tests a condition and executes statements if the condition returns a value of
switch
Example
In the following example, if the
executes, if the
case 1
executes, and so on. If no
that follows the
switch (number) {
case 1:
trace ("case 1 tested true");
break;
case 2:
trace ("case 2 tested true");
break;
case 3:
trace ("case 3 tested true");
break;
default:
trace ("no case tested true")
}
In the following example, there isn't a break in the first case group so if the number is 1, both A
and B are sent to the Output panel:
switch (number) {
case 1:
trace ("A");
case 2:
trace ("B");
break;
default:
trace ("D")
}
